MFT Stamps Sketch Challenge 501 - Thank You From Owl Of Us

Hello.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my card for the current MFT Sketch Challenge.

For the next few weeks I'll be working on cards for Send A Smile 4 Kids, and nationwide organization that supplies pediatric hospitals with handmade cards for the patients, their families and hospital staff.  I send my cards to a very kind woman, Anne, in Pennsylvania and she distributes them to four pediatric hospitals in the Northeast.  It's a great program.  Anne has a current need for birthday and thank you cards.  The thank you cards can be made with designs that a child might pick-out for the recipient, or adult designs as well.

For today's thank you card, I combined two MFT sets featuring owls.  The sentiment was made by cutting apart two sentiments from the Wild Woodland stamp set.  I turned the sketch to a horizontal orientation so I could use the Horizontal Skinny Stripes die.  All of the MFT supplies are listed below.

I hope you have a great day! 

 

MFT Supplies:
I'm Owl Yours stamps and dies
Wild Woodland stamps and die
Wild Greenery die
Skinny Stripes - Horizontal die

Gumdrop Green, Cactus and  Chocolate Brown card stock

MFT Sketch 500 - You & Me. Always.

Hi.  I'm back with a quick and simple card for the current MFT Stamps Sketch challenge.  

I used a blending brush and MFT Blue Raspberry hybrid ink to add some soft color on a die cut MFT heart.  I tried to make it an ombre effect, from the lower left to the right.  A double layer of vellum gives the die cut leaves from the Wild Greenery die set a bit of dimension.  I added a few gems for some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!

 
MFT Supplies:
Stitched Hearts STAX die
Wild Greenery die
More Essential Sentiments stamp

MFT Sketch 499 & Color 146 Challenges - Happy Bear-thday

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. 

Today I have a card for the current MFT Sketch and Color challenges.  The sketch was easy enough, but the color combination of Milk Chocolate, Tickled Pink, Coral Crush and Summer Splash were indeed a challenge.  I have all four colors of MFT card stock, but after two failed attempts to make a primarily die cut card with those colors, I gave up and got my Copic markers out.  

I use the MFT Beary Special Birthday stamp set a lot.  The images are easy to color and make a cute focal point on a simple birthday card.

All of the MFT supplies are listed below. I hope you have a beary good day!
